The following is from Sierra Providence Health Network.
"This afternoon, an electrical surge caused a small fire in the basement of the hospital. The fire department quickly extinguished it but the hospital was unable to regain power to some areas of the hospital. We have evacuated some patients to our sister hospitals, Providence Memorial Hospital and Sierra Providence East Medical Center. The fire department and local power company are on-site working with us to restore full power. The emergency room is on diversion for EMS and we will let everyone know when our electricity is fully restored.
We take the health and safety or our patients, employees and visitors very seriously. We routinely practice for situations like this to ensure that we're able to respond quickly and appropriately."
